What is ignition timing all about?

Your engine relies on perfect timing to work smoothly and efficiently. This requires ideal ignition timing. The ignition system is responsible for creating the spark that combusts the fuel that powers the cylinders and therefore the engine. In order to have your engine run perfectly, the ignition has to create a spark at the optimal time. As miles accumulate, your ignition system may start to spark at the wrong time, and the timing will need to be adjusted.

Keep in mind:

Many modern vehicles have ignition timing that automatically adjusts.
Whenever the ignition timing is adjusted, the entire ignition system should be inspected.
After adjusting the ignition, the vehicle should run for a few minutes to make sure that it works properly.

How it's done:

Hook up timing light
Check the ignition timing
Adjust if needed

Our recommendation:

The ignition system is a pivotal part of your vehicle, and should always be inspected during routine maintenance and service. During all engine tuneups the ignition timing should be checked.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to adjust the ignition timing?

Car stays running when you turn it off
Rattling noise from the engine

How important is this service?

Your engine has four basic steps of operation. The first is intake, where fuel is added to the cylinders. The second is compression, where the fuel is compressed in the cylinder. The third is power, where the compressed fuel is combusted, thus firing the cylinders. And the fourth is exhaust.

Your ignition system plays a key role in between the second and third steps. The ignition system sends a strong current to the spark plug, where a spark is created that helps ignite the fuel. This happens immediately after compression; the spark ignites the compressed fuel, which combusts it and creates the power. Over time the ignition timing can be altered, and the spark will not occur between compression and power. As a result, the fuel will have a hard time combusting, the cylinder will not be as powerful, and the engine will have problems.

Honda Prelude L4-2.2L - Oil/Fluid Leak - Hayward, California

Thank you for sending Faraz to follow-up on my concerns regarding the oil change/oil leak my car was experiencing. His open and friendly personality made this experience less stressful and smooth. He was easy to talk to and answered every question I had in a way that I could fully understand, as well as other questions I had about car maintenance, and costs. As a woman this is extremely important to me, as I am someone that always likes to take advantage of the opportunity to learn new/more about car care. Faraz understood my concerns need/reasons for wanting to gain more knowledge, and I greatly appreciated him. I was starting to become discouraged with this service, and really was thinking about not using it any longer, but Faraz assured me of the quality of the parts used by Your Mechanic, and that the services I received for my breaks was top quality. He is a great mechanic and Your Mechanic is very fortunate to have him on their team. These are the reason for my rating of Faraz.
